VIRAL VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS THE NEW JVC MOBILE NAVIGATION SYSTEM THE KW-NT3HDT
LOS ANGELES, May 18 -- JVC Mobile Entertainment (http://www.mobile.jvc.com), a leading developer and manufacturer of sophisticated mobile, audio, and video products, announces its 2010 "TURN ME ON 3" campaign featuring multi-platinum selling recording artists, The All-American Rejects. The campaign will feature a breakthrough online viral video with placement on the high definition JVC video billboard in Times Square and an extensive campaign that includes print features and editorial, extensive PR buzz, online banner ads, and radio promotions.
With over 19 million views-to-date between the first two TURN ME ON viral videos, JVC Mobile Entertainment has revolutionized the car audio marketing landscape with this innovative viral video series. For the third installment of the TURN ME ON campaign, the All-American Rejects hijack their own tour van and race to a secret rock show in Downtown Los Angeles, while being chased by cars full of beautiful female fans. Songs by The All-American Rejects that will play throughout the video include "Dirty Little Secret," "Breakin,'" "Real World," and "Night Drive."
TURN ME ON 3 features some of JVC Mobile's most popular mobile entertainment products, including the KW-NT3HDT in dash navigation receiver and the El Kameleon KD-AVX77 CD/DVD receiver, which has made an appearance in all three of the TURN ME ON campaigns. Also for the third year in a row, JVC Mobile turned to the creative team of creative director & writer, Danny Klein (e2amp) and director, Steven Lippman (Maneater Productions). The intensive 2-day shoot took place on location in downtown Los Angeles and was produced by Maneater Productions.
"For the last two years, the TURN ME ON viral video campaign has significantly helped in increasing sales and we anticipate even bigger results from this year's campaign," said Bill Turner, Vice President for JVC Mobile Entertainment.
"After two successful years of the TURN ME ON branding franchise, we had to find a way to take this program to the next level. After looking at the music landscape of today we realized that The All-American Rejects would be a perfect fit for our brand identity," said Chad Vogelsong, General Manager of Marketing for JVC Mobile Entertainment. "AAR's popularity to our core customer and lifestyle message is perfect for the TURN ME ON franchise. The guys are amazingly talented, their music and live performance is truly what TURN ME ON is all about, and their fans are second to none. This year's video is a true collaborative effort between AAR and JVC and guarantees to turn people on with music, lifestyle and technology."
